Tom Brokaw and a pun little potato story

Well, A Girl Potato and Boy Potato had eyes for each other,

And finally they got married, and had a little sweet potato, which they Called 'Yam.' 

Of course, they wanted the best for Yam. 

When it was time, they told her about the facts of life. 

They warned her about going out and getting half-baked, so she wouldn't get accidentally mashed, and get a bad 
name for herself like 'Hot Potato,' and end up with a bunch of Tater Tots. 



 

Yam said not to worry, no Spud would get her into the sack and make a Rotten Potato out of her! 

But on the other hand she 
Wouldn't stay home and become a Couch Potato either. 

She would get 
plenty of exercise so as not to be skinny like her Shoestring 
Cousins.



 

When she went off to Europe, Mr. and Mrs. Potato told Yam 
To watch out for the hard-boiled guys from Ireland . 
And the 
Greasy French guys from France.  And when she went out West, To watch out for the Indians so she wouldn't get scalloped. 



 

Yam said she would stay on the straight and narrow 
And wouldn't associate with those high class Yukon Golds, or the ones from the other 
side of the tracks who advertise their trade on all the trucks that say, 
'Frito Lay.' 



 

Mr. and Mrs. Potato sent Yam to Idaho P.U., (that's 
Potato University ), so that when she graduated she'd really be in the Chips. 

But in spite of all they did for her, one-day Yam came home 
And announced she was going to marry Tom Brokaw. 



 

Tom Brokaw! 

Mr. and Mrs. Potato were very upset. 

They told 
Yam she couldn't possibly 
Marry Tom Brokaw 
Because he's just… well, he’s just…
